    can someone please clarify the triple buffering issue/bug? I have it set to on in NCP and also in game and so is this working or broken? Why do you need to ALT-ENTER twice as i have read?

    Tthe triple buffering in NCP only affects OpenGL games so it doesn't do anything for FC4. The in-game option sometimes doesn't "stick" and sometimes ALT-Enter causes it to stick. Also, I want to point out that I haven't actually tested the triple buffering since patch 1.3, it was broken then, so I just started using Adaptive Vsync from NCP and forgot all about the triple buffering setting. I will check it out though, maybe they fixed it since 1.3.

    Update: Checked triple buffering, it works now. Dont know if it was 1.5 or 1.4 that fixed it, but it works.

    Its just not right.
    I don't see any real pop in of textures.
    But the frame rate feels like its all over the place.
    Mouse also feels like its not right.
    Don't know if they are interrelated.

    Game just feels broken like I am not apart of it as its all out of sync or something.
    Even when it looks like its running fine it still feels off.

    I did notice once it was worse than normal.
    And that was because I had utorrent running.
    So that may have been slowing the loading of textures and causing the frame rate to drop.


    I can't recall ever having this problem in a game before.
    And I have had a slight headache come and go since i have been playing this.
    I never get headaches, not saying its related, but a coincidence.
    OMG, there are fixes for this all over the places EVEN IF the stuttering is as bad as you say it is. How about just trying to enjoy the game instead of moaning about a fps dip of 10.

    Actually the dips are far worse than 1-5 fps. It's just the counter that shows 1-5 fps lower. If you do a frametimes benchmark and create a chart, it is clear what is going on:



    As you can see, framerate drops from around 80 to around 40, sometimes even even below 30 fps. Horrible performance. The game is broken.

    I like how you blame the devs and not your machine. I'd be happy with that performance and I do think it is humorous you coming here moaning about such small dips in more than playable frame rates! If you hate it that much try playing on XBONE or PS4 and you would go into even more of a hissy fit.

    That is actually not on my machine. It was posted on some tech forum.
    Now, these 2 charts are from hardwarepal:

    And this is with 980, posted by someone on this forum:



    It's the game. It happens on all machines. Your posts are hilarious. All you do is post in every single issue thread, denying the problems, and telling how great FC4 is. Good luck astroturfing, but I'm not buying any of that nonsense.

    What is hilarious is you admitted to using someone else's tech to post about the stuttering problem, not even your own! How can you say it happens on ALL machines? To use your own words - I'm not buying any of that nonsense.

    This applies perfectly here.

    I don't see how bashing others on the forum will help get your problem resolved.

    The problem is everyone who gives facts about the stuttering are running the game without vsync, which means they get frames in the 80s and drops to 40s. So 40fps drop sounds really bad. But if you enable vsync, you only drop 20 fps from 60 to 40. Oh look, 50% improvement. Obviously, this does not apply to people who have 120/144 Hz monitors, but even then they should try capping the game at 60 (Half refresh vsync). There is stuttering in the game but it's not nearly as bad as most people say it is.
